Unfortunately, it's painfully obvious that Codemasters shipped this game out too early because of the impending MW2 release.
I keep thinking and reading comments about how much promise and potential this game has if it had been fully completed (and bug tested). 11 campaign missions? That is far too short.
What happened to being able to drive/fly all these vehicles. Yeah, there's a glitch that allows you to fly the Cobra and drive all the vehicles, but why wasn't this included in the game?

The audio in this game really shines though. The graphics, while not a deal breaker, remind me of a pc game from 5-10 years ago...

i received my game yesterday but havent opened it yet....im debating on returning it to the store

I would return it. There's just not "enough" in this game to warrant $60. Either rent it, or wait till the price drops to pick up this one. I've had fun playing it, but couldn't help but feel disappointed overall when I was done with the campaign.
I hate to "bash" this game, but it's frustrating to only get a glimpse of how great this game could be...
